This bit of the documentation should help: "As with Scheme files, Guile
searches a path to find compiled .go files, the %load-compiled-path. By
default, this path has two entries: a path for Guile’s files, and a
path for site packages. You should install your .go files into the
latter directory, whose value is returned by invoking the
%site-ccache-dir procedure. As in the previous example, if Guile 2.2 is
installed on your system in /usr/, then (%site-ccache-dir) site
packages will be /usr/lib/guile/2.2/site-ccache"
